Well the show is tonight……<P>I just wondered who else was going?<P>I love the new album, churango, and I expect it will be great live. You internet losers should all get out and go.

I've got a few (audio) bootlegs and while I do hear strings, they sound like they're of the canned/pre-recorded variety. Could be wrong, but that's what it sounds like. <BR>Their shows sound pretty laid back, though there are a couple instances of a sizzling guitar solo break, though even then, it's kind of understated. From an audio perspective, they'll probably sound great. Not sure how visually arresting they'll be though.
do you have any idea if they perform women lose weight, or what do new york couples fight about? <P>If so how do they cope withot their guest vocalists?
Wow, Saying Morcheeba is a portishead rip off is like saying Britney Spears (or whoever else, for that matter) is a Michael Jackson rip off, because they both sing "pop" music. (I guess I'm refering to MJ back in his hayday circa thriller). Yes, both Portishead and Morcheeba get grouped into the trip hop genre, but the reason for that stems more from the fact that they are (or were, originally) hard to categorize rather than they are so similar. If you listen to Big Calm VS. Dummy, the differances are obvious imho, with each group offering a superb album.

Their first albums being relaesed only 2 years apart, in portisheads favour

I cant get on the Morcheeba site.

But, as far as these two groups go, the basic idea of what I was trying to say, was that they are unfairly grouped together and compared because they are both in the same genre, even though (I don't think) they aren't that similar. Regardless, I can't wait for the show! And while we're on the topic of the two… isn't it about time portishead did something?
well beth gibbons just released a solo album.<P>And to agree with you it seems Morcheeba and Portishead are characterised together for the large part because they are hard to characterise, so get lumped together as British Trip hop. There are few other members of this genre, tricky and alpha come to mind. Little else though.<p>[This message has been edited by markie (edited 01-21-2003).]
